Family Constellations in Contemporary Ibero-American and Slavic Literatures : Historical Imaginary, Transnationality, Narrative Form

Abstract

The volume investigates historical imaginaries in contemporary Ibero-American and Slavic literatures, where family narratives are used to reflect paradigmatically on the construction and self-understanding of regional, (post-)national, ethnic, or religious communities. The comparative dimension of the volume showcases a broad range of different familial "constellations" and highlights the parallels and differences between the two cultural areas.
